DEATH AND THE EARLY MODERN ENGLISHWOMAN

"While accounts of dying women largely underpinned the existing patriarchy, the experience of dying allowed some women to express themselves by allowing them to utilise an established male discourse. This opportunity for expression, along with the power of the deathbed, are the focus for this study."—Jacket.
